About 15 years ago, Jean-Claude, Louis Rousselet's grandson, had to empty a small warehouse containing some of Louis' material. He asked me to visit and see if there was anything that might be of interest to me. I purchased the entire inventory of calibrated crushed glass and powders and a long wooden multi-drawered cabinet for beads. He also added a case of glass bead making tools and equipment from his grandfather's workshop.
Several years later I sold most of the glass to a contemporary French glass bead maker specializing in high-fashion jewelry.
The photo was taken recently in our studio.
